Yes.!  They are spring loaded to help with the weight on the up stroke.  Use old car battery/power suppy to jog the motor to a position where you can see a couple of holes line up in the mechanism, then shove a big, fuckoff, Phillips head screwdriver in there. Before you undo all the 10mm bolts.

Shove a long rod, or Phillips head in one of those 2 big holes on the arched gear (top left) before you undo all the bolts on the geardrive, use an old battery or 12V to spin the motor, you'll see what I mean when you're doing it. The spring is VERY strong.!

No, doesn't matter.  You'll see when you remove the mechanism from the door. It's a coiled spring, like a tape measure, and one end will be bent around a pin. It's not enclosed, so you can see everything.  

It won't kill you.!  but it will take the skin off your knuckles if you forget.
